Abstract

This paper discusses a proposal for intervention on continuing education for caregivers of the elderly in a long-stay institution (ILP), which sought to provide employees of that institution, a course that would address the topics identified as necessary to improve the knowledge ofcare Elder. This need arose from the time that the plaintiff assumed the role of the responsible technical institution. It was observed that caregivers were lagged with knowledge and it was interfering with the care that they lent the institutionalized elderly. So we tried to outline theobjective, a proposed intervention that is related to continuing education for caregivers of elderly people. This is an intervention proposal which proposes a training for professionals who provide services in this community. The proposal was developed in three stages. In thefirst step, we performed a planning proposal including dissemination, uptake of professionals to be trained, considering the finding of staleness. The second step is the implementation of the proposal, including the theoretical and practical lessons that will be taught all the 4th and 6th fairs, scheduled at 14 to 17h, each lesson lasts 50 minutes. In the third stage, professionals, undertake an assessment that can be done in two ways (individual and collective), so it should make a new meeting with participants to investigate learning and recycle those that are not successful in assimilating content taught, due to schooling. It ishoped that this work will contribute to firm conviction that continuing education in health is of utmost importance when it comes to ILP.
